Recommendations for 1 Gal glass container

[Koenbro]

Have ordered 4 of those 900ml amber bottles from Photographers' Formulary.

Very intrigued by the stop loss bags both for photography and for woodworking.

Great suggestion, and thank you all for the discussion.

I am getting back into LF and am preparing to mix some XTOL. Would like to store it in a one-gallon glass container. I know "Google is my friend" but is there any recommendation for glass containers others have used successfully? Would not like to reinvent the wheel if there is a commonly accepted answer.

How do you remove the air and reduce the oxidation once the developer is used and the liquid level drops? Add glass marbles? I'd imagine one needs a lot once the levels drop quite bit. Or do you transfer to smaller bottles?

Thank you for ideas on both questions.

I use 1/2 gal brown glass bottles used as growlers at the local brewery. This has the added benefit of supplying me with beer. Once emptied of their original contents, I wash them thoroughly with hot water and replace the caps with polycone style replacements found on Amazon or eBay. My local brewer is also willing to sell me new, unused bottles should my beer consumption fall behind my developer consumption. Their prices are way better than Amazon's.

The best brown glass gallon jugs I ever used had a finger hole and a hook for your second finger near the top of the neck. Heavy high quality glass, never broke one and a really nice deep cap. They were cough syrup jugs free from the pharmacy ...... 40+ years ago. Before recycling it would just go in the trash and you just had to ask nicely.

You've just described the beer growler 1/2 gal jugs I get from my local brewer. The glass is free if you buy the beer

So where do I have to go to get those?

Your local craft brewery if one exists.
